Guttation is the result of:

  • A Osmosis
  • B Root pressure
  • C Diffusion
  • D Transpiration

Question - 9

Rupture and fractionation of water column present in tracheary elements does not occur during ascent of sap due to :

  • A Transpiration pull
  • B Weak gravitational pull
  • C Cohesion and adhesion
  • D Lignified thick walls
